I'm not sure that Domain Authority is overriding, so much as potentially causing initial ranking "confusion" (this might also depend on/be caused by how often Google is expecting sitemap updates - I could be completely wrong on this though).
Might also be worth noting that even on the canonical url, the canonical meta tag is expected pointing at the page - I'm not sure if this impacts the reposts showing up, or if it is just to help Google solidify that the original article is the original article.

I don't exactly understand this. But I think that the way we're handling canonicals is correct right? I've pinged the Forem engineers on this so that they can speak to this topic.
The part you called out is more for the host of the original content (DEV/Forem is handling it correctly on their side 👍🏻)
For example, if I post a blog post on my personal site, I should also be including <link data-vue-tag="ssr" rel="canonical" content="https://terabytetiger.com/lessons/articles/moving-from-vue-2-to-vue-3-composition-api/"> on my page - terabytetiger.com/lessons/articles...
I was adding this for anyone that might find this post in the future and be new to how to best use canoncial_url 😅
I can confirm that when 1VIBE was a wordpress website and mostly aggregating content (so not adding the Canonical URL) we were sometimes able to temporarily outrank the original source on Google search results. I would say that 1VIBE for sure had lower "domain authority" than the source, but I was however personally telling Google to crawl our pages via the Google Search Console as soon as we made the posts which was not long after the original source. But this only works temporarily and in the long run Google does seem to adjust search result rankings based on actual "domain authority" and probably other factors like who the original source of the content is.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Gotcha!
I might be getting in a bit over my head now.

Good deal! Thanks for mentioning this.
I totally understand what you mean now.
Appreciate you setting me straight here. 😀
This is really handy advice, @terabytetiger , and a really helpful explanation! Thanks so much for sharing!
